The wind was stronger a couple of days ago, but I really felt it today. It didn't seem to bother the pileated woodpecker. After he left the suet, he interacted with a flicker up in the oak. Bluebirds wanted fresh barkbutter balls. As soon as I put out more the orioles came back, then blue jays.
A robin just wanted water. A female house finch puffed up so much I thought I was looking at a different bird. A handful of red-winged blackbirds came to forage. A white breasted nuthatch wanted a turn at the seeds. A brown headed nuthatch had an easier time of it.
Something small floated on the creek, keeping the same spot despite wind and current, but I couldn't get it in focus. The feral black and white cat made itself comfortable on my chair. Fortunately, the dog was ready to go outside. It took him a minute to home in on the cat but then he was off like a rabbit.
The wind was really fierce on Tuesday. I hardly saw any birds. Toward evening as the light was failing, a white breasted nuthatch was frustrated by a cardinal that had taken over the seed feeder.
